David Agnew
David taught ancient history at a Scottish university for a decade before realizing he'd rather walk the ruins than lecture about them. He's visited over 200 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and keeps a running list of the ones that live up to the hype.
He writes about UNESCO sites, historical walking tours, and ancient ruins, with a focus on context—what you're actually looking at and why it matters. He'll tell you which sites need a guide and which are better explored alone with a good book.
Based in Edinburgh. Owns more maps than furniture.
